Directed by Gary Sherman. Written by Dan O’Bannon, Jeff Miller, Alex Stern and Ronald Shusett. Starring James Farentino, Jack Albertson, Melody Anderson, Barry Corbin, Dennis Redfield and Robert Englund.
Plot: the townspeople of Potter’s Bluff are killing tourists, but why?
The movie starts out with the insane burning alive of a tourist by several of the locals. They take pictures as they tie him up and set him ablaze. Then, they kill some drunk guy and take some pictures of him, too. But the Sheriff isn’t in on it. And he wants to know what’s happening to all these poor people.
I can tell you that the whole town isn’t in on it and that there is a mastermind, but it probably won’t be who you think. It’s a mystery and DJ doesn’t usually enjoy those, but he enjoyed this one. It’s like an extra long Twilight Zone episode that’s hella interesting. It’s original, well-made, well-acted and we totally didn’t see the twist coming. It’s a classic that’s perfect for the season.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
